7. Quick installation guide

The asterBoard™ Quick installation Guide:

Tutorials to install the asterBoard™ on AsteriskNOW or FreePBX can be found here.

To start the installation you need to know that the asterBoard™ is working as a Flash Applet inside an Internet Browser, the Applet can be installed on any Webserver you like, or on the Asterisk Machine.

The Applet connects to the Manager interface available on the Asterisk machine and handles the calls. Because of the security restrictions of the Flash Player you need to install the Flash Security Daemon on your Asterisk, we offer the source code here to ensure these restrictions are handled properly.

fsd - Flash security daemon

When dealing with Adobe Flash applets or Adobe AIR applications that access data via a Socket or XMLSocket object, the server providing the data needs to authorize the accessing applet or application to access the data. This is a security feature integrated by Adobe in their Flash player 7 and made mandatory with version 9.0.115.0. The Flash security daemon is a very small, configurable server written in ANSI C, that offers this authorization.
